New project in Newton consisting of two multi-family buildings (2 units each), both incorporating a 4-dedicated Stormwater Infiltration System. The site was previously occupied by a Single-Family Attached Dwelling.
One of the main challenges was successfully integrating the steep topography with the landscape design.
The property lacked an existing drainage or infiltration system, which resulted in stormwater scouring across the surface at grade.
Our Civil team developed a design for a newly installed stormwater infiltration system, which, together with the proposed grading, works to effectively control site runoff and significantly enhance drainage conditions at the property.
Additional activities completed include:
✅ Existing Conditions Surveys
✅ Average Alignment
✅ Civil Plan
✅ Structural Plan
✅ Construction Staking
✅ Foundation As-Builts

Residential Addition & Renovation Project 📍 Wayland, MA
This project included a one-story addition along with interior renovations to an existing home.
To achieve the proposed open space concept, our structural team designed a steel beam system on the first floor to support the existing structure, enabling the realization of the architectural vision.
Our involvement also included the Existing Conditions, Proposed Plot Plan, and Lot Stake Out, ensuring a well-coordinated and efficient design process.
Thanks to our valued client, Rebel Design Builders @rebelbuilders – Carolina Bitelli, for trusting us to be part of this project.

Residential Project | Weston, MA 🏡💧
Our Civil Engineering team prepared the Stormwater Design for a proposed development located at Weston, which includes a new dwelling, driveway, and paved areas within an existing residential neighborhood.
The site design proposed an stormwater management system, designed to control runoff and comply with regulatory standards for major storm events, ensuring proper drainage and protection of the site and surrounding properties.
As part of this project, we also had the opportunity to support our valued client Housen Zhang with:
- Existing Conditions
- Civil Plan
- Sanitary Septic Design
- Construction Staking

Final As-Built Plans: Why They Matter 📐🏗️
Final As-Built Plans document how a project was actually constructed, reflecting all approved changes made during construction. They should be treated as an Existing Conditions detailed survey plan and serve as the official record of the completed site.
In many cities across Massachusetts, Final As-Built Plans are required for City Engineer approval and sign-off, and in some cases, they are a key requirement to obtain the Certificate of Occupancy—the permit that allows a property to be legally occupied or used. Cities such as Weston, Newton, and Brookline may require them as part of their approval process.
In this particular residential project on South Boston, we design a Final As built for our value clients Todd & Kelly DeAngelo.

Residential Project | Natick, MA 🏡💧
Our Civil Engineering team prepared the stormwater management design for a proposed residential development located in Natick, Massachusetts.
The project consists of a single-family dwelling, a paved driveway, a permeable paver patio, and associated landscaped areas.
The design incorporates two infiltration systems to capture roof runoff, resulting in a post-construction reduction in site runoff and compliance with all applicable local and state stormwater regulations.
In addition, a dedicated infiltration system for sump pump discharge is proposed, providing an added layer of protection for the basement and enhancing overall site drainage performance.
As part of this project, we also had the opportunity to support our valued client Carlos Hanzi @carloshanzi with:
- Existing Conditions
- Civil Plan
- Septic As Built
- Construction Staking
- Foundation As Built
